Protecting the environment is essential to achieving an end to extreme poverty. You can take action with Global Citizen here to support Global Goal 13, which focuses on climate action.

Trump’s executive order goes after the Clean Power Plan (CPP) created during the Obama Administration, mandating that it be rewritten. If implemented in its entirety, the rule could potentially reduce carbon emissions by 650 megatons. But many environmental groups fear that the environmental rule will be gutted during its re-evaluation.

Meaning those megatons of carbon emissions that would have been avoided could end up entering the atmosphere.

Other environmental policies set forth by Trump certainly justify claims that the rule could be drastically cut.

Trump Forest told BBC that even though only a small number of people voted Trump into office, everyone has “to deal with the consequences of his climate ignorance,” and something must be done to combat those consequences.

To participate in the project, all one has to do is plant a tree anywhere in the world and send the receipt to the Trump Forest team so they can track how many life-saving trees are growing in the world.

Founded by British climate scientist Dr. Dan Price, American PhD candidate Jeff Willis, and French-New Zealander Adrien Taylor, Trump Forest is responsible for new trees across every continent, except Antarctica.
